Skeleton Girl
I offered my soul, stripped myself clean
My heart, my mind, my hopes, my dreams
I took down my walls, one brick then two
Now I’m just bones; nothing left to give you
I liked who I was when I looked in your eyes
I felt like a sun, like a bright star in a sky
It felt so real, like my heart was on fire
So happy so happy and filled with such desire
The smiles would stretch my face so tight
The smile would stay until I fell asleep at night
But the world turned dark, and it took you down
A hole so deep—no smiles left, only frowns.
No more love left to give when you saw no point
Nothing else to say except “sorry to disappoint”
We fit, so well, I tried to be your light
But you lied, I was not, indeed, something you liked
You saw no future, you did not even try
I wasn’t even special, one of a hundred before you die
Everyday gets colder, and so have you
How did you love me, when you’ve grown so cruel
You made me believe I was something worth more
You made me believe, and now I’m not so sure
Was it all a dream, a well told lie?
Did I die in my sleep, and think I was alive?
Did I imagine that joy when you looked at me?
Was it all just a ploy, with a twisted melody?
This tune that you’ve played has made me worn
This tune that I sung only left me scorned
I lie all day, and stare at these walls
What was the point the point the point to it all?
If you loved me so much, how could it go away
I did nothing, I did nothing, but you still didn’t stay
I can’t go out, all I do is cry
All I do is think, broken with these sighs
I’ve screamed, I’ve clawed, I’ve torn myself down
And after all this, I just want to drown
You’re going to move on! How great, how nice!
You’ll love someone else, and I’ll only play the price
I gave you my all and it seemed only right
You saw my worth, but it disappeared in a night
You said you adored me, you said that you cared
But now I’m gone and it doesn’t matter I’m not there
I offered my soul, stripped myself clean
My heart, my mind, my hopes, my dreams
I took down my walls, one brick then two
Now I’m just bones; nothing left to give you
My skin, my eyes, my brain, my blood
I gave it all, and you threw it in the mud
Step right up please, try not to hurl
Take a close look now, at the skeleton girl
My heart, my mind, my hopes, my dreams
I took down my walls, one brick then two
Now I’m just bones; nothing left to give you
I liked who I was when I looked in your eyes
I felt like a sun, like a bright star in a sky
It felt so real, like my heart was on fire
So happy so happy and filled with such desire
The smiles would stretch my face so tight
The smile would stay until I fell asleep at night
But the world turned dark, and it took you down
A hole so deep—no smiles left, only frowns.
No more love left to give when you saw no point
Nothing else to say except “sorry to disappoint”
